Vibrant, spacious apartment... extremely friendly dog who loves attention, but as a full time chef, he comes with me to work. So he's barely there.

Quiet and chilled out neighbourhood.

I had great times being a guest through airbnb before I began hosting and I want my guests to have a great time being here too. I like meeting people and finding out about their lives and travels. I live separately so guests can relax and enjoy the privacy of their own home from home. But I'm also only next door so I'm usually on hand to offer advice about places to go or if you need help or there is anything which needs sorting out. I also have friends who help me with cleaning and they are close by too if by any chance I'm out of town.
Kendal is a market town on the edge of the Lake District. It isn't very big but it's safe and it's pretty with a river running through it and plenty of greenery and tranquility at the castle ruin. There's plenty to do and an active art, music and beer scene with a number of microbreweries. Plus the all the that the Lakes has to offer is on the doorstep.
There are three excellent annual festivals.
Mintfest a festival of street theatre which takes over the streets and venues around town at the end of August
The International Comic Arts Festival in October which again involves the whole town and celebrates all things graphic, cartoon and animé
The Kendal Mountain Festival in November for those interested in the outdoors and climbing, film, photography and other cultures.
Houghton House is about 5 mins walk from the centre of town and 10mins from Kendal train station. If you're driving there is roadside parking outside the house.
Kendal is easily accessible from the M6 and has a mainline rail station Oxenholme Lake District with direct trains to London Euston 2.5 hours. There is a local rail link, 5 mins to Staveley (which has a nice pub the Eagle and Child) and about 15 mins to Windermere. There are also regular buses and boats to take you into the heart of the Lakes. Check out the Mountain Goat website and Stagecoach for timetables.

Lovely place to stay. Lots of contact before our stay with great directions and information on the surrounding areas. Fully stocked with amenities. Rachel was easily contactable and very informative. Great place

Rachel2015-09-21T00:00:00Z

Rachel's flat has a magical creative vibe. Our party of 3 adults and 3 children fit perfectly with plenty of room for all. Our visit was all too short as we were busy working at the local food festival. Would love to return for a longer visit. We didn't get to meet Rachel but she made sure we had all we needed. Many thanks!

Veda2016-03-15T00:00:00Z

FANTASTICO! such a great location and excellent value for money. would definetely recommend!

Sian2016-07-20T00:00:00Z

I booked Rachel's lovely apartment for myself and two friends as we were doing some walking in the Lake District. Although in the end we didn't get to meet Rachel in person as we'd gone out when she called round, we had communicated by text and I could tell that she really cares that you have a great time in the apartment. The apartment was plenty big enough for the 3 of us, very clean and decorated/furnished to a high standard. We were even welcomed with milk, bread and butter and jams waiting for us. The apartment is very close to the pubs/bars, and shops of Kendal and is a great base for exploring the Lakes/Yorkshire Dales. Very happy to recommend both Rachel and her apartment and would definitely be back if I'm in the area in the future

Adam2015-07-17T00:00:00Z

Rachel offered us a cosy and clean home to enjoy the lake district. It is a part of the house, but it was everything we needed. Rachel was very hospitable and helpful. I asked for several additional stuffs, she came to offer me right away. I would like to suggest the place to stay for your lake district holiday.

Chao2015-09-25T00:00:00Z

We had a lovely stay in Rachael's apartment. It was warm and cozy - just what you want after a long day of walking. Check in and out was very easy and Rachael was quick to respond to all of our questions. A wonderful place to stay in the Lake District!

Susie2016-05-03T00:00:00Z

Rachel made us feel very welcome during our stay this week. Extra home comforts were provided such as shampoo and a pint of milk. Really helpful when only there a few nights. The flat has a great space for a family, 2 double bedrooms, great kitchen and spacuous lounge. It is a 10 minute walk into central Kendal. Perfect for shopping and eating out. Opposite a park and close to the castle and a playground. Perfect for kids too. We'll definitely be back!

Anna2016-10-28T00:00:00Z

We had a lovely stay in Kendal at Rachel’s B&B. The flat was large enough to accommodate 5 adults comfortably and well placed within a short walk to the centre of Kendal. The flat has lots of beautiful antique furniture, upholstered in gorgeous fabrics dotted all around the flat. The living room is comfortable and has 3 good-sized sofas. The kitchen is adequate for basic cooking and there are plenty of places to eat near by. We felt the property offered good value for money for a short 2-day stop over and its location is great for hopping around the South Lakes.

Comfortable modern flat in an old building in Kendal Town Centre with Wi-Fi, Smart TVs and Netflix. Minutes from cinema, shops, pubs, restaurants, park, galleries and museum. Ideal for Lake District UNESCO World Heritage Site and Lake District and Yorkshire Dales National Parks. Free parking for one car in the Car Park at the Parish Church (five minutes walk)

Tucked away in one of Kendal's hidden yards, dating back to the 18th Century or earlier, our small flat is in the heart of Kirkland, the oldest part of Kendal and its medieval ecclesiastical centre. The bedroom has a comfortable king size bed. The kitchen is equipped with oven, gas hob, microwave oven, fridge-freezer and dishwasher. If you don't fancy cooking there are many pubs, restaurants and takeaways within a few minutes walk.
The sitting room and bedroom have internet enabled TVs with Freeview and Netflix. We're sorry, but the stove in the sitting-room does not meet current safety standards and has been de-commissioned. Also, we try and keep the flat low-allergy and dust and fumes from the fire would not help.
The shower room is very small, containing shower, small hand basin and WC. If you fancy a long soak in a bath at the end of the day this isn't the place for you!

James used to work in Kendal and lived at the flat during the week, doing a weekly commute from Newcastle. It's an excellent base if you're working temporarily in Kendal or intending to explore the Lake District and the rest of the area, including the beautiful coastline as well as the Yorkshire Dales National Park. The front of the flat looks over Kirkland towards Kendal Castle (visible from the bedroom window in the winter when the trees aren't in leaf!). Please be aware that there is some unavoidable traffic noise from the road. We do have double glazing throughout and a blackout blind in the bedroom but it's impossible to eliminate all traffic noise so if you're used to a very quiet place you'd probably be better finding somewhere out of the town centre. Please look at our web site for further information.

Our stay in Kendal could not have been better! Janet and James went out of their way to make us comfortable and to help us make the most of our time in the Lake District. The flat is cozy and warm and full of modern conveniences. The bed was very comfy!! The location of the flat is perfect too. So happy Janet and James provided a parking permit for the lot just down the road. The only complaint is that we didn't have a few more days to spend there- silly on our part to think 3 days in the Lake District would be enough!! We will have to come back- and when we do, we'll definitely stay in Janet and James's flat again.

Rianne2016-12-19T00:00:00Z

Fantastic all around! Great location in kendal with it being a short walk from everything. The place it's self was extremely clean and tidy with everything and more. Hosts were beyond helpful in making sure everything was okay.

Jazz2017-03-05T00:00:00Z

5 star experience. Very helpful hosts.

Dan2016-10-27T00:00:00Z

wifi and Netflix great. Very busy road and lots of noise at night. Awkward doors and kitchen cupboards.

Joanna2017-05-06T00:00:00Z

The flat was ideal for a visit to the lake district. We were able to explore Kendal town centre (just a short walk to nice restaurants and shops) and a short drive to the beautiful lakes and Yorkshire dales. The flat was clean and comfortable. Communication with the hosts was regular, useful and friendly. A lovely stay!

Gemma2016-08-12T00:00:00Z

Great location in Kendal, lovely clean flat, very comfortable bed. James and Janet have thought of everything, and comunicate concisely and in a timely manner. I would thoroughly recommend staying here.

Gerard Henry2017-03-17T00:00:00Z

The flat is lovely and cosy and in short walking distance to the shops, bus station and train station which is handy if you don't drive. Great communication, Janet and James are very helpful and we would definitely like to visit again!

Sarah2016-08-08T00:00:00Z

A small, cosy apartment 3 minutes walk from centre of Kendal town. Information supplied in advance of arrival by Janet and James was spectacular. Great place to stay if you're in Kendal for work or leisure

The Garden Suite has been tastefully created from a portion of our Victorian home, with its own private entrance at the side of the house. Set in a conservation area & with several lovely walks right from the doorstep, the Garden Suite makes a perfect, quiet, relaxing retreat. Equipped with its own kitchen area (Microwave, Fridge, Kettle, Toaster & Dishwasher) & a luxury en-suite Shower room. Conveniently located, a few minutes walk takes you into the bustling market town of Kendal.

Really enjoyed our short stay at the Garden Suite. Nice and easy to find, just a short walk into Kendal. The home is bigger than the pictures would let you believe, and Susan should definitely add a picture of the bathroom, which is lovely. All very modern and nicely decorated. Susan has a lovely home, made us feel very welcome, and I would definitely recommend to anyone

Alex2017-04-12T00:00:00Z

Lovely apartment nicely located near central kendal

Christopher2017-02-12T00:00:00Z

A brilliant cottage to stay in which is a quick 2 minutes walk into the middle of Kendal. Spacious bedroom and bathroom. Lovley peaceful area which is very central to the lakes and all the attractions around.

Chloe2017-04-15T00:00:00Z

Both our hosts were very welcoming on arrival giving us great advice on local activities and pubs. The flat was extremely well finished and had all needs provided for. The hosts used to run B n B's so their professional approach was clear to see. The Garden Suit is strongly recommend.

Robert2016-12-29T00:00:00Z

Susan was a great host and we enjoyed our stay in kendal immensely! The flat is exquisite! The kitchen is well equipped and separate from the bedroom, lovely breakfast bar area for morning coffee. The bathroom is one of the nicest I've ever seen and set up was hotel standard. The bedroom is huge, airy and filled with sunlight, the bed was one of the most comfy I've experienced. Ideally situated about 5-10 mins walk from the centre of kendal, plentiful pubs /restaurants and a short walk from the station from which it's a 15 min train to Windermere... Perfect stay, can't wait to go back!

Our flat is a quiet and comfortable space, clean and modern throughout. The kitchen is equipped with all the glassware, crockery, pans and utensils that you might need. We also have a dishwasher so you can take a break from the chores! A simple breakfast is provided (tea, coffee, bread, milk, jams and cereal) at no extra cost. Towels and bedding are also supplied.

Kendal is a fantastic place for a holiday. A short walk from the flat is
- The Brewery Arts Centre. We like the Vats Bar there, where they do great pizza, real ales and a Monday night quiz. The venue also boasts a cinema, gallery and lots of music and theatre shows.
- Burgundy's wine bar - 2 minutes walk from the flat with a huge selection of great wines, real ales and home brews.
- Booths supermarket - A northern artisan supermarket. Cross the road and walk 2 minutes down Low Fell Side and grab a selection of delicious foods and drink.
If you like to get outside, if you take a short walk straight up the hill you have access to fantastic views across Kendal and over the bay from Scout Scar. This is a common land area of limestone pavement which has a network of easy to follow footpaths and 360 degree views of the landscape.
Across town, you can also walk up to the ruins of Kendal Castle, or enjoy a walk along the old canal.
There are many other easy footpath walks around Kendal - a map is provided in the flat if you want to venture further.

Josie was very welcoming! She met us at the door and walked through the flat with us showing us everything we needed to know. She was happy to give contact information should there be anything we needed. The flat is in a perfect location of the town centre with perfect walking distance to all shops, pubs, Restaraunts and sights. Definitely recommend this accommodation for a stay in Kendal.

Kirsten2016-05-26T00:00:00Z

Lil 2016-08-07T00:00:00Z

We were greeted very promptly by our host - shown around the apartment and shown how and where every thing was/worked. Car parking is not easy - our car spent most of the week in the local supermarket car park. Not keen on the velux window above one of the bedrooms - very light in the morning and very noisy when it rains

Denise2016-09-09T00:00:00Z

Had a lovely time in Kendal. Thank you for providing such a clean comfortable place to stay. Highly recommended.

Shaukat2017-03-21T00:00:00Z

A brilliant little flat in a great location. 2mins walk into Kendal and a short drive to anywhere else in the Lakes. Josie's flat has everything you could possibly need, and the extra little touches of breakfast supplies, decent coffee and fresh milk in the fridge were a very welcome addition.

Iain2016-09-03T00:00:00Z

Lovely flat in Kendal. The flat was clean and well stocked (milk / cereal) and in such a great location. We had a great time and I wouldn't hesitate recommending Josie and Alistair.

Catherine2016-09-12T00:00:00Z

Welcome to my home - a spacious, beautifully decorated ground floor apartment, five minutes’ walk from the shops, restaurants and the train station, yet cosy and quiet. Great for couples, solo adventurers, or business travellers. Views of the tidal estuary, and lake district hills beyond. The patio has really pleasant views and gets the afternoon and evening sun. The whole apartment is fully double glazed with great central heating, so it’s easy to be cosy and comfortable even on rainy days.

Mark is a gracious, kind and punctilious host. He greeted me late one evening as I arrived in Arnside via the train. It is a very short walking distance from the local train station, connections to Manchester (1 hour 30 minutes) and hence the rest of England are very easy. Whether you looking to use Arnside as a pit stop on the way to other Lake side destinations, or you wish to base yourself here - Mark will look after you terribly well and dare I say he is a true gentleman. If you enjoy the finer things in life - books, art, music, travel, wine - you are also going to be in exceptionally good company. Do not hesitate to pick Mark's brain on discovering local delights - walks in and around the Estuary, good eating establishments - and even how to get about further into the Lake District. The house itself is clean, very comfortable and the bed is enormously comfy. The kitchen is well stocked, the wifi works well and you must not resist the urge to play on his old record player!! There are lovely views into the garden as well. Last but not least if you want to escape the tawdry hotels and tourist swamps around Windermere etc, Arnside is definitely the place for you!!

Ishaan2016-08-28T00:00:00Z

Located in tiny, but cozy village, Mark's place is located only 100 metres from the estuary with stunning views of mountains and surrounding nature. When I arrived, Mark welcomed me with hot tea and cake, which after a long journey from South was a very nice surprise. After a quick tour, me and host have sat together and discussed possible activities during my stay. Mark's knowledge about local hills and lakes was incredible. He recommended at least 10 different things to do, including visiting Wordsworth gardens, Windermere Lake (which is the biggest and probably most beautiful), Beatrix's Potter museum, Cartmel village (famous for it's delicious sticky toffee) and many more. On the second day, before leaving for new adventures, I have been given a gargantuan breakfast and sandwiches to take with me. I felt like in home, instantly remembering my mum doing this things when I was a kid. By the time I got back, Mark has offered me a nice walk to the local hill - Arnside Knott. By the time we came down, we could admire gorgeous sunset and coming tide. I genuinely recommend Mark, he's a brilliant, friendly, genuine, super intelligent and most welcoming person I have ever met. If you are looking for quiet yet exiting weekend away, fulfilled with lots of outdoor activities - stay in Arnside. Thanks for everything and I hope to see You again soon !

The Jacobite Apartment was a perfect couple's apartment. Located right in the centre of Kendal, there was easy access to all local amenities - many of which the host took the time to recommend to us. The apartment itself was a very unique design with a lovely finish, and contained everything the one would need and more. Highly recommended.

Richard2017-05-10T00:00:00Z

A gorgeous modern space with some special features! We stayed at Mike's for two nights. The apartment is spotless and has everything you need. Mike has thought of everything. From access to his chrome cast and speakers to emergency milk! There was even complementary paint and paper for those who wish to get creative! The check in process was so easy - no having to arrange a time to meet etc. Just a simple key box with a code! Mike also gave some excellent recommendations for the area. We loved Slate bar and Pedro's! Would 100% recommend this gem of an airbnb!

You really couldn't wish for a more comfortable town-centre stay. There are many coffee shops and restaurants within walking distance and the bus/rail stations are just a few minutes on foot too. Communication with Mike was easy and fast and everything at the apartment exceeded expectations. Thanks for a wonderful stay!

The Apartment has everything you could need for your self-catering stay. It is extremely clean and welcoming, and Tina was very organised, providing all the information we needed. She also provided a travel cot for our baby. The only downside for us was that because the house is centrally located and is on the ground floor, there was a lot of noise from the street. We were woken on the Friday and Saturday by drunk people in town who were right outside the window of our bedroom.

We had a wonderful stay at The Parsonage with our dog this October half term. Petrina made us feel extremely welcome on arrival, a really friendly reception, champagne and Kendal mint cakes on the side and milk in the fridge! Petrina also helped by suggesting a list of dog-friendly pubs - The Watermill at Ings was one and we would definitely recommend it! The space itself is perfect, really thoughtfully decorated with absolutely everything you could want on a weekend away. Very cosy yet spacious - you could happily stay for a long break. There was also a little enclosed patio area outside which was great for the dog. The location was very nice too sitting beneath what was Kendal Castle. It's an easy walk into Kendal too so very well placed. The weather was pretty miserable throughout our stay but having such a lovely home to come back to meant it didn't matter at all. Huge thank you to Petrina and family for a lovely stay. I am sure we will be back again someday! We would definitely recommend The Parsonage - you won't be disappointed!

Katie2015-10-31T00:00:00Z

Petrina made us feel very welcome and was there to meet us even though we arrived later in the evening. The Parsonage was well presented and spacious. Well placed for the Southern and Central Lakes too. she knows the area very well so advice and guidance on what to see and where is available if needed. All in all a good experience and would recommend.

Nick2015-10-19T00:00:00Z

Petrina was a great host with wine and chocolates waiting for us on arrival. Any questions and she was just a message or phone call away. The flat was beautiful, very clean and spacious and in a great location with added car parking. Myself and my girlfriend were after a nice romantic early christmas getaway and thats just what we got and more. An unforgettable experience and we can't wait to visit again.

Robert2016-12-18T00:00:00Z

The Parsonage was a wonderful home away from home. We stayed with our twin 5 month boys, and it was the perfect place for us. It was very spacious, clean and had everything one would need. Trina also kindly lent us a travel cot. The kitchen was super cute well stocked; though we didn't cook while staying here, it has everything you need to. Trina was an amazing host, living next door so right there if you need anything. If you're staying in the Lake District or just coming to Kendal for whatever reason, don't hesitate to stay at the Parsonage. We were glad we did!

Joy2016-03-29T00:00:00Z

We arrived and was meet by Petrina and her boys who showed us around the house and explained about heaters, showers etc etc, the champagne and chocolates were a lovely touch, the house was great and just what we needed, not far from the station (5 mins) and the town about (10 mins) this let us come and go as we pleased. Would recommend this house to others.

Chris2016-02-16T00:00:00Z

We had a great stay at the parsonage -it is a lovely immaculate and spacious apartment with a perfect enclosed private garden which was perfect for our dog.It has a lovely well equipped kitchen and a large living room and bedroom. It is situated in a great position in a quiet street in Kendal and has its own parking space right at the door. Petrina and her family were very friendly and helpful and communication was excellent. We would highly recommend it and are keen to return there.

Ed2015-11-05T00:00:00Z

Petrina was very welcoming. Tea coffee and milk are there plus a couple of extras like chocolate. The descriptions are all spot on and the apartment is in a quiet location but only a few minutes walk from Kendal centre. The flat has everything you could need and the bed is a good size and very comfortable with good pillows and bedding, which makes a big difference. Kendal itself is a nice town with very friendly people. If we are staying in Kendal again I hope the parsonage is free. My rating out of 10 is 10+.

Jane2015-11-17T00:00:00Z

Great place to stay, very clean. Great host, excellent communication throughout. The Parsonage is ideally situated to walk into Kendal (lots more to do there than I remembered - nice cafes/restaurants particularly liked The Brewhouse for food/theatre/cinema) or as a base for exploring the lakes. Very close (15 metres) to big field/walk to Kendal Castle ruins which was ideal for a quick morning walk with the dog. Would definitely recommend/return!

This is a wonderful place to stay with a lovely view of the river. The flat is very central but also quiet. The flat is a good size and is well equipped. I would definitely stay again.

Debbie2017-04-13T00:00:00Z

This apartment is really clean and lovely. And it's really big, have enough place for three people. It's also convenient,not far from the lake. Good place to stay!

Silu2016-06-25T00:00:00Z

Excellent location, good sized rooms.

Paul2016-02-21T00:00:00Z

The property is in a great location just at the bottom of kendal town centre and very close to the railway station and local shops. (SENSITIVE CONTENTS HIDDEN) wasn't great at showing us these shops so the host could have made this clearer as we did ask. The kitchen was so well equipped, we loved it, and were able to make breakfast without any issues. Could also cook a full meal if you wanted to! And the living room and bedrooms were lovely. There's loads to see and do and the railway links made it easy to get around. Our one and only complaint was the dust that was in the house, and the cobwebs on the ceiling. The entrance and floors were so dusty that we couldn't take our socks off during the three days we were there. The house is so lovely and well worth it if there's more than two people. Would definately stay again and highly recommend to others.

Iqra2016-08-06T00:00:00Z

Fantastic location within Kendal. Right on the Riverside and in the heart of the town. The photos don't do the place justice. We had 4 people staying and the house had plenty of room to accommodate us all.

Sam2016-08-07T00:00:00Z

Lovely property on the river with a very short walk to the shops. Very nicely furnished with comfortable beds.

Lucy2017-03-12T00:00:00Z

Stayed here for a family wedding in Natland. Great location and the apartment had everything we could possibly need. Easy to access and lovely rooms and space. Great for a short stay but could be used for much longer too. Thank you very much, it made a great weekend even better!

Katie2016-09-05T00:00:00Z

Experience staying here was great. There was a clear and welcoming arrival email with all instruction needed. We didn't see the hosts the whole time and everything at the apartment was provided apart from extra blankets which we needed the first night. Apartment itself was amazing, very clean, loads of space (for 4 ppl) and great location in the centre of Kendal making access to the wider district super easy. Had a great stay and would recommend to anyone. Thanks Jules!

We are ideally based to make the most of the facilities of the traditional Lakeland market town of Kendal which also provides an ideal location for exploring the beauty of the Lake District and surrounding areas.

Great service. Despite some problems that were beyond Sandra's control, she ensured we had a comfortable and enjoyable stay, and went out of her way to take care of things for us. Would definitely get back in touch with Sandra if we were heading back to the Lakes.

Mark2014-04-25T00:00:00Z

Great location in a wonderful neighbourhood near Kendal Green. Sandra's apartment was very clean and comfortable, with all the essentials. It was a very convenient location to access the Lake District as well as the Yorkshire Dales National Park. We would definitely stay here again.

Ignacio2016-07-12T00:00:00Z

The apartment is a great base to explore the Lake District. The hosts were very welcoming and friendly. We made great use of the provided hiking guide books and and went on some fantastic hikes in Ambleside and Grasmere. It's also worthwhile to explore the area in front of the door (around the golf course). The views are great!

Laura2015-05-28T00:00:00Z

We had a great stay at Sandra's place! Although the apartment is situated in the souterrain, and therefore doesn't have a lot of natural light, Sandra designed the interior in such a way that it is very cosy and comfortable. The apartment was very clean and offered everything you need for a great stay in the Lake District. Absolutely recommendable!

Britta2016-08-08T00:00:00Z

Thank you for a lovely stay in a very nice apartment. The flat has everything we needed and was a perfect location for exploring the lake district. We were made to feel very welcome and were very grateful for our welcome treats!

Kate2016-06-04T00:00:00Z

Great, friendly, and helpful hosts! There were even a couple of treats when we arrived. Great base for exploring the Lake District. The apartment is perfect too!

Jack2014-06-17T00:00:00Z

The flat was lovely, clean and modern with everything provided. it was a short walk from Kendal, a very nice town. There are stone steps down to the flat, so it may not be suitable for the less-agile. The hosts were very kind and helpful, they left milk and some other foods, and gave advice about how to get to places and parking. i enjoyed some good walks and visited Sizergh castle (NT) which was beautiful and interesting. You could stay in the flat at any time of year.

Wendy2014-09-30T00:00:00Z

Communication with host and family was warm and friendly. The location is in a beautiful part of the Town.

I have a cosy double room in my first floor apartment over looking a communal garden/court yard. It is quiet with a particularly comfortable bed. I am a short walk from the town centre and approximately 10 minute walk from the train station. There is an excellent bus service that will take you wherever you want to go in Cumbria; i.e Windermere/Bowness,
Ambleside, Grassmere, and Keswick. There is a good variety of restaurants in town and of course Cumbria is a wonderful haven for walkers.

Your double room is private, light and airy in a quiet first floor apartment. It overlooks a communal garden/courtyard. The double bed is very comfortable and there is tea/coffee making facilities in your room. The bathroom is next door to your room with an excellent shower with your own towels and more in your wardrobe if required. The bathroom is shared with the owner/occupier as is the kitchen.

Where I live is quiet but only a five minute walk to the town centre where there are several restaurants of different quisines, some pubs and a few hots spots too.
We have the River Kent close at hand and Kendal Castle. You may want to investigate these before going further afield. Windermere is a 20 minute drive and Ambleside is just a further 10/15 minutes. There is an excellent bus service to Windermere/Bowness, Ambleside, Grassmere and Keswick.

Very nice welcome, the host is very nice. The room is clean and the bathroom too.

Nancy2016-07-06T00:00:00Z

This was our first AirBnB experience, and we couldn't have asked for a better start. Liz's home was immaculate, and her warm friendly manner made us feel right at home. All the little touches she goes to the trouble of providing made our stay perfect.

Jim2016-08-06T00:00:00Z

We had a most enjoyable stay. The house is spotless with everything provided as listed. Breakfast is not on the list but you can help yourself to coffee/tea toast and marmalade. If you are travelling with a car Elizabeth has arranged a permit for parking. This is a great value stay with a lovely host. We highly recommend.

Laurel2016-08-25T00:00:00Z

We were so lucky to stay Elizabeth's place :) It was really like house of Peter Rabbit

Eunjin2016-11-06T00:00:00Z

From the time we arrived till the day we left Elizabeth made us feel extremely welcome. From providing us with a parking permit, helping during a medical situation, and providing me with lessons on using her SAT-NAV that she loaned us during her stay, Elizabeth was the perfect host.

Stephen2016-08-24T00:00:00Z

You must live with Liz. You will appreciate the cozy place that she has to offer, her warm welcome as you get there and years of experience to learn from through her travels, life and work.

Melinda2017-03-05T00:00:00Z

Elizabeth was a fantastic host and we loved staying at her home. It was very close to the center of Kendal and perfect for exploring the southern lake district. Everything was as described in the listing and more. Very comfortable bed, extremely clean bathroom, and helpful host. We would definitely return here if we visit again.

Pat2016-05-18T00:00:00Z

My husband and I stayed two nights at Liz's place and really enjoyed our stay. The location was peaceful and safe. We felt it was a great place to be based to access the rest of the Lake District by car. We found parking easily on a side street and Liz provided us with a visitor's parking disc. The room and facilities were clean, cosy and very comfortable. The hot shower had fantastic water pressure - very welcomed after a day of walking. Liz was an amazing host and great person to meet. We would definitely stay again next time we visit the Lake District!

Spacious, quirky 3 bed flat, nestled in the stunning Lyth Valley. Part of a grand Georgian property, this 1st floor apartment has amazing rural views, off-road parking, use of extensive garden areas and an award-winning foody pub a short stroll away

Crosthwaite House is a stunning, Grade 2 Listed Georgian building with unrivalled views over the beautiful, secluded Lyth Valley, located in the southern Lake District. This apartment occupies the entire first floor of the property, and has 3 double, ensuite bedrooms (2 of which can be arranged as twin rooms), a spacious lounge with woodburning stove and a dining kitchen. Decor is chic and modern, with a vintage twist - we love to upcycle!

Crosthwaite is a quaint, picturesque village, with an award-winning gourmet restaurant pub (a couple of minute's walk away), a church, playground/sports area, village hall and a small primary school. We are in very easy reach of the central Lake District and the market town of Kendal is a very short drive away. There are numerous execellent pubs in the immediate area and a small local shop 10 minutes drive away.

Absolutely loved our stay at Crosthwaite House apartment. It's a beautiful place, very tastefully decorated, very clean and positioned in a beautiful part of the country with easy access to all the major sights within the Lake District. Loved the lounge in the evening with the log burner going - bliss after a day out in the cold. All communications with Tiree was easy, prompt & helpful. Can definitely recommend staying here.

Lisa2016-11-26T00:00:00Z

We had a very nice stay at Crosthwaite., the apartment was very nice and we enjoyed our stay there. The area was picturesque and peaceful but not too far away from some lovely walks and places to eat, we especially enjoyed the food at the Masons Arms.

Karen2015-11-01T00:00:00Z

I went to crosthwaite house as a mini break with some family after my 4 months son christening. The apartment is lovely and seemed to be a good size. The beds were comfortable. One issue for us was the location which was not very walking friendly.. We are not big time hikers and the roads there seems a bit dangerous specially with a baby so I left a bit early and my little brother replaced me! Otherwise it was a nice stay xx

rand2016-05-16T00:00:00Z

Tiree anad Sam (EMAIL HIDDEN) us very welcome. We appreciated the milk, the vase of flowers and the Damson Vodka martini which was delicious. The accommodation was not only beautiful and spacious but very practical. It suited us as a mum and dad and two grown up children and their partners. Tired accommodated our grandson as well in a lovely bed. The apartments was almost equidistant between Kendal and Bowness on Windermere. An easy 10 minutes drive from each. We had a great week exploring the lakes. The Punch Bowl pub was 2 minutes away and was good for an evening drink. The log burner in the living room was lovely.

Sheila2016-04-10T00:00:00Z

We are very pleased with our stay at Crosthwaite House. The property is beautiful, and we found the quiet beauty of the English countryside, enhanced by a touch of very valuable gastronomy (Punch Bowl, Mason's Arms, Lyth Valley Hotel ...). Many pleasant walks in the countryside and hills. We enjoyed the many attentions from Tiree. Good quality / price ratio, from our point of view. We recommend this accommodation!

Vincent2017-02-28T00:00:00Z

The apartment is beautiful! Such a lovely corner of the Lake District. Spotlessly clean, decorated with real style and lots of lovely touches - from the cosy wood burner (basket of wood provided) to the homemade Lythe valley damson gin and cookies ! Thanks Tiree for the thought and care you put into our fantastic stay! Charlotte

Charlotte2016-09-18T00:00:00Z

This place is fantastic - book it now! The apartment is a true balance of practicality, design inspiration & little delights like the homemade Damson gin provided on arrival. Tiree was a fantastic host, replying to queries within hours & nothing was too much trouble when we had to make slight changes to our plans. The area has great access to the lakes, loads of attractions within 15-45 minutes drive away & the Punch Bowl pub in the village (2 mins walk) serves exceptional food.

Ben2016-08-23T00:00:00Z

We had a wonderful stay at this property. It's the perfect place for a cosy, walking holiday around the Lake District. You will definitely need a car as the house is very remote, but this only adds to its charm and seclusion. The views from the lounge are stunning. The house itself has a lovely lounge and kitchen and 3 sizeable bedrooms, all fitted with en-suite. It was perfect for our needs and we spent many nights relaxing by the fire with a nice glass of wine. We will definitely be back.

The period property was renovated recently and many original features are preserved. There is a spacious L-shaped open plan living, dining, kitchen, 2 comfortable bedrooms and a garden area with seating. A supermarket can be found around 5 minutes walk away. It is 6 minutes walk to Kendal train station where direct trains to Manchester Airport and Windermere can be accessed as well as regular connections to Oxenholme.

There is a modern bathroom with a shower and separate small bath. The windows are all new and double glazed sash windows.

The accomodation is not rural, but within a few minutes walk, you can access the countryside. Footpaths along the river Kent can be followed either into town or through the beautiful countryside towards Burneside and Staveley. Alternatively, follow the paths along the River Mint to Mealbank and back along Paddy Lane, returning down through farmyards before landing back amongst the houses, a few minutes walk from home

One of the best Airbnb experiences to find ourselves in this fantastic & immaculately clean apartment at the gateway to Lake District! Very spacious yet has a cosy feel - a perfect place to rest after a full day of exploring! If you are ever in Kendal go eat at the Native Bar & Grill for a delicious meal with a superb wine list. Thank you Patricia again for being a helpful and graceful host (the bacon & wine were very welcomed :))

Katherine2016-12-04T00:00:00Z

Patricia's place is a beautiful, spacious and tastefully furnished ground floor apartment with a lovely indoor garden. It is spotlessly clean with a newly fitted kitchen and bathroom. The kitchen is very well equipped with a refrigerator, stove and oven and all the electrical appliances and even a coffee maker. The two bedrooms are very roomy and so are the sitting room , dining room and kitchen. The neighbourhood is very pretty and one can see the surrounding hills from the garden of the house. A slight drawback is that the house is located on the main road and at night one can hear the sound of cars driving past from the master bedroom which faces the main road. Apart from that, the apartment is value for money and is ideal for four persons or a family to stay. Patricia is a very thoughtful host and has left detailed instructions on where to find things in the house. She is also available on the phone should one need to speak to her. We had a wonderful time and our only regret is that our two-night stay was too short. We intend to return later in the year for a longer stay.

Noor Farida2017-04-21T00:00:00Z

Great host, and wonderful base for both Yorkshire Dales and the Lake District for those with a car. Handy to supermarket. Modern facilities, two comfortable beds, and a lovely homely feel

paul2016-11-17T00:00:00Z

My wife and I spent four days in Kendal using this accommodation as our base. I can't praise it highly enough. It is a beautifully decorated well appointed apartment with everything you could wish for. It is conveniently situated just fifteen minutes walk from the town. With a super market and a pub that does reasonable food close by. If you are cooking for yourself the kitchen has everything you could need and it all is superbly fitted out.

Robert2016-09-19T00:00:00Z

We had a great stay, the flat and decor were stunning, everything felt homely with a bit of luxury. It is a really peaceful place to stay, great shower and kitchen. The bed is kingsize (always handy) and well it was just a stylish yet had a 'country feel' to the place. I would love to come back here. Tricia was also very helpful and friendly - leaving us a bottle of wine as well!

Rebecca 2017-04-05T00:00:00Z

This place is done up to a very high standard inside, and the host is clearly wanting very much for guests to have a great stay. There's not much to fault it, unless you are 6' 1" and like to relax in baths (i.e. the bath is rather short).

It was a pleasure to explore this beautiful area and to meet such an interesting and welcoming host. Thank you!

An exceptionally well presented modern and comfortable property. Would highly recommend staying here and would stay here again myself without hesitation. Everything is well designed with the facilities in the flat, kitchen, dining area, tv sofa, bedroom and bathroom in very good condition. Up a quiet lane with great views yet so close to town centre. Brian was very welcoming and had provided plenty of essentials too.

Part of a stunning country house, 200 yards form the sea.
In a quiet friendly village with 3 pubs and bird reserve.
2 minutes walk from luxury 5* facilities of Holgates with its pool,restaurant, shop, bar and bowling alley.
3 nights minimum. Stay for two nights pay for three.

The fresh air from the sea, the variety of wonderful walks, friendly locals, good pubs and places to eat. Every season has something different to offer!

Bob is a fantastic host; he is very friendly, helpful and approachable. We enjoyed a peaceful long weekend in the lovely apartment (I especially enjoyed the fireplace with the logs and actual fire). The apartment is clean and cozy, with nice garden and few hundred yards from the sea. We spent a day visiting the welcoming local town, then visited the beautiful locations in the Lake District, Morecambe Bay and Cumbria. All in all, a great experience and fond memories of the place, and hosts, would highly recommend (and would probably visit again ourselves).

Mubbasher2016-10-17T00:00:00Z

Beautiful location a stroll away from an amazing view and walking opportunities. The apartment is lovely, very cosy, the perfect mix of a modern apartment and country house complete with a log fire where you can escape from the world. Bob was a wonderful host and very helpful when needed. Great value for money I would definitely stay again.

Anna2017-04-17T00:00:00Z

We cannot recommend Bob's beautiful apartment highly enough. Bob, is without doubt one of the best hosts we have encountered. Bob is, intuitive helpful and attentive. Staying in such a comfortable modernised and interesting apartment exceeded our expectations, set in an idyllic setting, enabled us to discover a superb, hidden gem of unspoilt english countryside.

Jean2017-02-09T00:00:00Z

Bob was a really helpful host, flexible and accommodating of all our needs. The house itself was cosy, with an open fire and as much firewood and coal as we needed. There was a Christmas tree set up to create a nice festive atmosphere, and a good selection of books and DVDs too. There were three of us, but the house would have felt a bit small for more than that.

Neal2016-12-27T00:00:00Z

Cove Lea was a perfect little getaway for us over the New Year. The apartment is private, spacious, cozy and lovely. The bed is comfy and having an open fire in the main room is perfect. The kitchen served us well and we even tried out the panini maker! Good hot shower and plenty of space in the apartment to relax. The area is lovely and we kept ourselves busy walking in the local area on the beaches and checking out the pubs as well as exploring further afield. Bob is a great host - he kept in contact and made sure we were ok before and during our stay. Lots of little touches made us feel welcome and at home - like having a christmas tree and ice cream in the freezer :) We'll stay again if we have the opportunity!

Bob's place is really cosy and clean with peaceful surroundings. We enjoyed lovely birdsong in the morning and the wood-burning stove in the evenings. Bob picked me up from Silverdale train station which was very kind. He was a great host and we we loved the area.

We had a fantastic weekend in Silverdale. We loved the accommodation and the garden was perfect for our small family and dogs. The location is wonderful only 2 minutes walk to the beach and the lovely fields into Silverdale centre. Bob was fantastic very welcoming and helpful! We will definitely be returning in the future.

A spacious 2nd floor apartment in an imposing country house on the fringe of the Lake District National Park, with breath-taking panoramic country and coastal views. Close to the amenities of Grange and only a few minutes drive from Lake Windermere.

Entrance is at the rear of the property through a large arched doorway in to a hall with wide selection of visitor information, plus library of books and games, then up two flights of imposing staircase. The apartment consists of: entrance hall, large living room with panoramic views, fully equipped dining kitchen, double bedroom with four poster bed and panoramic views, single bedroom with panoramic views and Juliette balcony, twin bedroom with woodland outlook, spacious bathroom with bath and over-bath shower.

We are approximately one mile from Grange-over-Sands, a small town offering immaculate public gardens, a scenic promenade and an interesting collection of shops and cafes. The historic and picturesque village of Cartmel is four miles away, home of Cartmel Sticky Toffee Pudding, L'enclume Michelin starred restaurant and a medieval priory church. A few minutes drive will take you to Lake Windermere, and from there, all the many jewels of the English Lake District are within reach. The area abounds with friendly pubs, cafes and restaurants, serving food and drink to suit every palette and price range.

This place is so much fun. So spacious. I can't say enough good things about the hosts- they were the most kind generous hosts we could ask for. We stayed up on the top floor (3 floors up) and had views of the golf course every morning as the sun came up (and all day long). Martin and Susan are near for any needs. The walk to the promenade is less than 2 miles and bueatiful the whole way. The place is less than an hour from any major site in the Lake District. I do recommend having a car as it is a bit away from most restaurants, shopping and site-seeing. There is plenty of parking at the place so no worries. It is a really peaceful, laid back place and the flat is spacious enough to spread out and play games, talk or just relax. Love this place.

The apartment is really spacious, with great views over the golf course and the bay. It's a lovely, quiet location, with the nearest shops a mile away in Grange-over-Sands but it's only a few minutes' drive to Lake Windermere. The apartment was very clean and tidy and Martin and Susan made sure they were in to show us around when we arrived and were very helpful in suggesting places to visit.

We felt very welcomed into our accommodation by Susan and Martin. The house was as lovely as it looked in the photos and was was in a great area, reasonably close to the main street and train station.

We spend three night at Hazelwood court, we found Martin and Susan extremely helpful and welcoming. The flat we stayed in was very spacious and well equipped. We found fresh fruit on arrival which was a thoughtful gesture. The flat was very clean with stunning view of the sea. We will definitely be back. Many thanks for your hospitality.

Great self contained apartment in a relaxing and impressive setting. Excellent local restaurants and activities. We were greeted very well and understood how everything worked immediately. Highly recommended.
